How to use Receipt to CSV

Scan your receipt once and let LocalKit map every line into tidy spreadsheet columns. This preset balances contrast enhancement with denoising so even thermal paper or phone snapshots are readable. Each run automatically normalizes brightness, lifts faded ink, and groups prices with their labels so you can reconcile budgets quickly. Because the worker runs locally, there is no waiting for uploads or approval queues, making it ideal for quick reimbursement sprints.

  1. Drop a JPG, PNG, or PDF photo of your receipt into the uploader or tap Try sample to preview the workflow.
  2. Review the auto-enhanced preview in the OCR panel and wait for the status indicator to hit 100%.
  3. Confirm vendor, taxes, and totals in the structured table. Edit any cells inline if you notice a mismatch.
  4. Download the CSV and attach it to your reimbursement, or copy the raw text if you prefer pasting into a spreadsheet.

For extra clarity, flatten any folds before photographing the paper and shoot in even lighting. The denoise pass helps tame background shadows, but crisp images will always improve item detection and reduce manual cleanup. Snap from directly overhead, avoid receipts overlapping the table edge, and keep the original handy until your finance team closes the reimbursement.

FAQ

Which receipt layouts work best?

High-contrast receipts with clear print work best, but the tool also handles slightly crumpled photos thanks to automatic denoise and thresholding.

Is my receipt uploaded anywhere?

No. Processing runs entirely in your browser with LocalKit's Tesseract worker so the receipt image never leaves your device.

Can I export totals to accounting apps?

Yes. Download the CSV output and import it into your accounting or reimbursement workflow without extra cleanup.

Does it support non-English receipts?

This preset loads English by default. Switch languages via the advanced menu once the OCR finishes if you need another alphabet.
